We had so much fun last month we’re doing it again! On April 2nd feed your soul and stretch your legs with Pedal Bike Tours and Art Scout Art Consultingon a free bike tour from Pedal’s shop (2249 N Williams) to First Friday, southeast Portland’s version of Last Thursday where galleries and other businesses throw a street-side party of art, food and community.
Unlike the other more well known (and crowded) art walks in Portland, First Friday is spread throughout several of Southeast Portland’s neighborhoods. This makes it difficult for walkers but perfect for bicycles!
Easy riding for everyone, bring spouses, significant others, grandparents, children, even portable pets! We’ll ride on quiet streets through lovely neighborhoods and pause for nourishing art and refreshments at three different art galleries.

Thursday March 25th the Gary Hirsh "You name it Show 2", and the "Stop being such a crazy person" Series is available for your enjoyment.

The Opening in 5-8pm at The Living Room, 1422 NE Alberta St.

This show is awesome!!! Mostly because Gary rocks but also it is interactive... As the title leads you to believe you get to take a stab at naming his artwork. There is a box set up and you can just slip you creative ideas inside, and when someone buys a painting they get to choose from all the suggested titles, if your is pick you get a t-shirt with the painting on the front and your title on the back!!! How cool is that.

Also Gary is putting up his " Stop being such a crazy person" series, a collection of drawings that remind us all to take 15 min out of our crazy day to do nothing. All drawings are original, small, cute, and a dollar!!!
